Re: Unexpected behaviour of File browser in multi-windows environment

Hi Chip,

Sorry for my lack of precision.
The official name of the "black bar below the file" in the help is the
"status line".
Let us take the windows vim7.2 distribution with the default _vimrc.

Please type:
gvim file1 (long enough file to full the window)
:sp . (long enough directory to full the half window created)

The File browser is opened in the upper half window with the cursor
positioned on ../

Click on the status line below the screen where file1 is written in
reverse video.
Result: 1/ the cursor is positioned at its location before :sp . (OK)
2/.. is activated in the upper windows (surprising in my
opinion)

Quit and redo exactly the same except that instead of clicking on the
status line of file1, you now click somewhere inside file1.
Result: The cursor is positioned at the place you have clicked and ..
is not activated in the upper window (OK)

I hope you will reproduce the same behaviour.

Anyway, it is a minor flaw. But vim is so reliable...

Best regards
